Movies:

“2 Guns”

For the action fan in your life, you might want to get them a copy of “2 Guns.” The film stars Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as two operatives that have to become a buddy-cop duo, even though they don’t want to be partners at first. The film also stars Paula Patton, Edward James Olmos, Bill Paxton and James Marsden.

“’2 Guns’ is an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unexpected partnership: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent. For 12 months, DEA agent Robert “Bobby” Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus “Stig” Stigman (Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down. When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Bobby and Stig are suddenly disavowed by their respective superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the ground, the only person they can count on is the other. Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.”
